That way, you will look like a pair of Yamaha PWC coming down the lake.


Thanks for your wisdom Brian! LOL

Well I appreciate all the responses. I've always noticed that the boats I see with blowers are about 50/50 some out the side and some out the back. I see why and there are advantages to both.

With the Whipple system we will be running a gravity feed without a pump so there is not a chance of spraying anyone on the dock or if rafted since there is no water flow until you are moving.

Transom for a cleaner look. I understand the logic behind dumping out the side to ensure you have waterflow but to me it looks like your bilge is running all the time when it dumps out the side!

You can always wire in a small pressure switch and an idiot light on the dash. Much easier than trying to remember to turn around and look back. Use two diodes and one lamp.

Out the side so I can see. I placed the dumps next to the bilge dump. Not much chance of spraying anyone at slow speeds using a thru-hull pickep.
